If Pac doesn't fight elite welters at 147lbs, can we call him a ducker?

    I have a read lot of posts here saying that Pacquiao (or Roach) is afraid to fight Mosley or Cotto at 147lbs. Can we really call Pacquiao a ducker if he doesn't fight them at 147lbs and instead fight them at a catchweight?

    Dammit again . . . every fighter is limited by physical limitations . . . Pac is not a 147 lber and he doesn't intend to fight at 147 . . . so how can that be ducking? :lol:

    no. pac has really no business at 147 but if he'll fight at that weight, it's a bonus to us boxing fans.

    I personally dont think so...However we can have it both ways..When other fighters move up and fight then people say they should fight the best fighters at that weight...so you cant say it in the case of one then say no in the case of another.

    Pacquiao should just wait for Floyd and then retire...He isn't God and like someone said earlier, he does/will have limitations. He is already an ATG and his resume speaks for itself. A win against Floyd would be monumental and he would retire healthy, with lots of money with nothing else to prove. So no, it would not be ducking :good

    Yes. Fight the best or don't go there.

    Its simple really.

    Just going up and not fighting the best is stale. Anyone could go up a division and fight some blob.

    The best, or don't even bother.

    cant call some one a ducker when he isnt even fighting at that weight. the DLH was a side show circus attraction. are we supposed to say floyd is ducking batista since he did face the big show?

    2 remaining fights left. The 2010 Philippines National Election is just around the corner. You can say everything you want. But still you are lucky to witness his career.
